Our layout editors in Eclipse have been somewhat low priority for a long time but we are now focusing some effort on it. You may have seen that ADT 10 includes a lot of new features and we have more coming for the next versions.
We are working on: - better interactivity in the editor itself. - better integration into Eclipse (*much* better autocompletion in the XML editor, quick assist, refactoring, go to declaration) - better rendering (3.0 is a huge step in the right direction already, but we're adding some improvements and back porting it to earlier versions) - new features to help you design layouts (extract as include refactoring, show included in, data in listviews, etc...) If you want to follow our progress you can look at http://tools.android.com/recent As someone said, this is open source, and worked on directly in the open (you can go to http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/sdk.git;a=summary to see the latest changes or to https://review.source.android.com//#q,status:open+project:platform/sdk,n,z to see pending changes), and while we aren't forcing (or expecting) anyone to contribute, if you feel passionate about tools and want to contribute, please let us know (see http://tools.android.com/feedback) thanks, Xav -- Xavier Ducrohet Android SDK Tech Lead Google Inc. http://developer.android.com | http://tools.android.com Please do not send me questions directly.
